The scholarships are awarded in order to provide financial assistance and encouragement to accounting majors. Forty-eight college students each received a $2,500 scholarship.

"The Foundation for Accounting Education takes great pride in awarding these scholarships to truly deserving students in an effort to support their educational goals," said FAE President John Kearney. "By encouraging top-level students to enter the field of accounting, we hope to strengthen the profession as a whole."

Students receiving the $2,500 scholarships must be a declared accounting major and have achieved an overall cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Students also must be eligible for financial aid to receive the scholarships. FAE has dedicated campus liaisons at 47 colleges in New York state to help identify students eligible for these scholarships.
